    Black tank valve seems to be not opening

    I'm not sure if all toilets are the same but on ours we can turn off the water, step on the pedal and look right in there with a flashlight. You may have a big toilet paper clog? Get a stick and poke it down there. Can you feel it hit the bottom of the tank? As others said the sensors are pretty...

    I want to thank you all again for taking the time to educate me about our truck choice. We've decided a SRW is just not wise to even consider. To my surprise my wife is considering a dually. I would think any of the big 3 dually's (Ford, Chevy and Dodge) could pull the GW3800RLB. Anything...

    Can someone tell me if I'm using the RV Tow check 2.1 calculator correctly? Under certification ratings I put the 5th wheel info For GCWR I put in 13,800LBS which is the spec dry weight of the camper. Under GVWR someone above estimated 15-16K LBS, I went with 15,500. Tow vehicle weight, GVW -...

    I agree 100% and that may end up being the case. Our other option is to get the dually, keep our Land Rover and store it in California where we spend a good chunk of the winter. But of course then it's just sitting there 7+ months of the year. Decisions, decisions!

    Thank you again everyone. I really appreciate all this information! I went to both the Ford and Dodge website today and was surprised to see Max Tow capacity on the Ford F350 (20,500LBS) was higher than the Dodge (17,500LBS). We've followed a few people online who are towing the exact model (GW...

    Ok thanks. Does the dealer where you purchase the trailer usually provide and install the hitch in the bed? With our TT they included the hitch and sway bar with the purchase and installed it all while we were doing paperwork. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for explaining! What about short bed VS long bed? I've heard some say with a short bed the trailer could hit the cab of the truck. Is this true? I think we'd prefer short bed but not if it's going to be a problem Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. A question about the truck. We are looking at both Dodge Ram with the Cummings diesel as well as Ford.. I've not been able to get a reliable weight on the GW3800RLB but I did find 14000LBS on one site. I asumed we'd need a 3500HD or F350 but in researching the...

    Hi all, I just joined this forum as we are months away from our purchase of a Gateway 3800RLB. We are a family of 4 (Myself, Wife, 11 and 2yr old boys). We've had a 27'TT for the past 3 years, 1/2 timing for 2 of those years and then full time traveling in it for the past year. We've decided we...
